Creative and talented, Ivy is truly a magnetic magical force field of positive vibes and great energy.
Since posting her work on Facebook, Ivy has become a phenomenon. In April of 2017, Ivy opened an art studio in the East Village, where her and filmmaker, Bryan Sarkinen, worked on a documentary called "Ivy Supersonic's Art of Mysticism”, this documentary captures the essence of The Miracle Art. The filming took place at Supersonic's "Art of Mysticism Paintings from The Divine," located in New York, and features Ivy Supersonic along with a host of New York characters such as, Ron Mwangaguhunga, writer for The Huffington Post; and 90s MTV VeeJay Jesse Camp, just to mention a few that were involved.
I was lucky enough to sit down with this amazing woman for an interview. Getting to know someone who possesses such talent can really help to motivate you, no matter what your passion may be. Get to know her a little more here:
When did you start to paint, and what inspired you?
My first painting was created on December 19, 2016. There was this local art store that was three blocks from my apartment. One day I noticed that they changed the name to Jerry's. Jerry was my father’s name. I felt drawn to go in. I have always wanted to paint, but I had no room in my studio apartment to put big canvases, so I focused on my other creations. I always called my apartment a "magical apartment", since I was always inspired and working on something. I created a lot of wonderful things there. My apartment had hats and feathers all over from the famous hat designs that I am known for. I just finished designing a feathered hat for Luke Spiller, the lead singer of the band The Struts. I had no room for anything else in my apartment. Despite that, I ended up going into that art store and walked out with two packs of canvases. These canvases stood as tall as I did. When I got home, I was able to lean them against my door where I was able to sit and paint. I never painted before and I decided to paint in the same spot where I designed my famous hats for inspiration. I was also missing my dad and had a photo of him that I was looking at. I took that photo of my dad and put it on the top right of the canvas and said dad, "Let's Do This!"
When I was finished, I decided to post pictures of the painting on Facebook. To my surprise, a lot of people were liking them. My Neighbor Shelia Marsh, who I call "Ma", saw my painting and told me to keep going. She was inspiring me to keep painting. She gave me the motivation I needed to keep going and I ended up painting my second painting. I posted that one as well on social media, and people were liking that one too. Most people sign their name on the canvas but, I wrote "Fuck Fox" on top of the canvas. The reason for that was I wanted to express my feelings for them stealing the cartoon character that I created in May of 1999. As mentioned earlier, I created a lot of wonderful things in my apartment, this is a Magical Apartment where I created the Sqrat, Hats, Bad Ass New York, and now Magic Paintings.
I channeled my energy into my art and that is how Magic Paintings were created. I hope you enjoy my art, (you can view my work on the links below).
We have the power to turn everything in our lives into opportunity.
